1. Earliest memory of going to the movies - I'm not sure which came first - watching a children's movie that included the line, "You rat, you dirty rat" (one of those cultural reference lines in a kids' movie to keep the adults entertained) or The Muppet Movie (I would have been 5).
2. Largest amount of money you've ever found - maybe $12 if $2 & $10 being found within a few hours of each other in the same vicinity counts.
3. A typical Saturday morning at your place - wake up late, do some sax practise, have a sax lesson, maybe do some grocery shopping or play / work on the computer.
4. I gravitate towards people who..can hold a decent conversation.
5. I gravitate away from people who..are arrogant.

1. Right about the time when my brother was born when I was five my parents decided it would be a nice treat for a family friend to take me to the movies as a bit of a consolation prize for getting less attention. It was some Disney-ish children's movie and I was scared to death and hated it.
